Rav Kook on Modern Warfare, Technology and Culture

Rav Kook’s holistic and complex thought praises modern technology and culture in many places, but he warns here in Orot HaMilchama, that modern warfare shows that without a strong base in Torah and the G-dly Morality and a Jewish State of Israel as a modern Light for the Nations, mankind can and will misuse these G-dly gifts in a destructive way that the world will greatly regret. The class relates to the spiritual “upgrade” referred to in Rav Kook and as seen in Israel following the 6 Day War, the Yom Kippur War, and presently the war after the Hamas Simchat Torah attack, where the religious-Zionists are beginning to lead the way back to nationalism, Tanach and the original and appealing Torat Eretz Yisrael, the effective way to keep the unity and consensus in Israel even after the war.
